15 de abr. de 2024 · Soil properties, such as clay minerals and organic matter content, play a crucial role in heavy metal adsorption [94]. Some HMs, like lead and cadmium, have a high affinity for soil particles and can become strongly adsorbed, reducing their bioavailability to plants.
1 de sept. de 2020 · Heavy metals, such as copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and chromium, have been found in the soil of these agricultural lands at a high concentration [ 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ]. Smelting causes localised pollution through atmospheric pollution, which then deposits on the soil.
1 de abr. de 2022 · Most heavy metals cause environmental and atmospheric pollution, and may be lethal to humans. Heavy metals can become strongly toxic by mixing with different environmental elements, such as water, soil, and air, and humans and other living organisms can be exposed to them through the food chain.
Heavy metals are defined as metallic elements that have a relatively high density compared to water [ 1 ]. With the assumption that heaviness and toxicity are inter-related, heavy metals also include metalloids, such as arsenic, that are able to induce toxicity at low level of exposure [ 2 ].
15 de nov. de 2014 · The most commonly found heavy metals in waste water include arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc, all of which cause risks for human health and the environment (Lambert et al., 2000). Heavy metals enter the surroundings by natural means and through human activities.
15 de oct. de 2021 · The heavy metals (HM) and metalloids consisting of Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Sn, Hg, Pb and other metals have enormous toxic impacts.
